    An exciting text resisting erasure, (re)creating History (intercontextually/multi-lingually)
  

*by J***K on Reviewed in the United States on July 5, 2015*

Writing about N. NourbeSe Philip's book "Zong!", Nathanial Mackey asks whether reordering history's “linguistic protocols might undo or redo history itself.” Even, as Juliana Spahr added in her blurb for Zong!, “find an answer [to Historical trauma…by] telling and not telling,…naming and not naming.” Craig Santos Perez's trilogy from Unincorporated Territory [Hacha], [guma'] and [saina] is doing precisely that. He is one of many exciting contemporary authors attempting to recalibrate the self within a sense of the nation and its history who is using innovative forms of hybridity to write a new America, defying Anglo-centric perspectives linguistically and visually, re-writing back in the natives that have been written out, forgotten, erased. The goal (as far as I felt it in my reading) is to show personal history as part of a larger contextual History that has long been silenced, one might even argue systematically eradicated from America. Authors like Perez (or Philips or Myung Mi Kim) thus collage, cross-out, fragment and stutter, include visual images and diagrams on their page, incorporate foreign languages and mix or include English errors or variations on definitions—as space for the illegible and unreadable in the reading process, and as a method of revising the History of the self and its nations. At the heart of such disjointed weaving of multitudes of cultures and languages into the loom of the American Literary tradition is the issue of resisting erasure. As a reader, I feel excited to be taken into the spaces that Perez is creating on the page for me, and cannot wait to read more.

    Amazing start of a trilogy on Guam
  

*by J***K on Reviewed in the United States on July 5, 2015*

This book is the start of a trilogy (thus far) by Craig Santos Perez, and as such is the opening act in an exploration of origin, language (erased and re-sought), family, place (Guam: a part /apart of/from the USA) and a writing style that only grows and depends across the following books from Unincorporated Territory. Richly inter-textual, this is a poetic text which I feel everyone must read. "from" the word that begins every section and subsection in Perez's work implies a space that is not complete, that is a part of, and which readers also play a role in moving towards completion. I cannot encourage my friends, students and others to grab up a copy and give this a read. Taking back the self, exploring ancestry, origins and histories that are rich with variants from codified History, this contemporary author is engaged in a kind of formally innovative polyphonic writing that is exciting and aethetically new while also being entirely grounded in a real that needs to be told/spoken.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Incredible, eye-opening work
  

*by S***H on Reviewed in the United States on March 4, 2017*

Santos Perez has written an incredible collection that weaves its way through both heart and mind.  He takes the reader on a journey of understanding - what colonialism does to a people, what war does to a people, what not having a voice does to a people.  Most importantly, he has chosen to give us his voice, and we'd be fools not to listen.
